I’ve got an Audacity project, and I’m just trying to copy one part of a track (a silence) to another part of the same track. As soon as I hit Ctrl+V, Audacity crashes.
It’s fine if I try to copy it to a new track or an empty part of the track timeline I’ve copied it from but I try to paste it onto existing audio, it just crashes rather than replace it as expected.
I’m on the latest version of Audacity and have done a fresh install as well, still the same problem.
Ok, turns out if I leave it long enough it will eventually work but we’re talking about 5 minutes for every paste…
I cannot replicate this - works fine for me on W10 with 3.7.0
The clip gets pasted, but I do get a strange offset when I try to paste at T=0
This looks like a bug to me, can anybody else replicate this?
If so I will log it as a bug on GitHub.
UPDATE
Testing shows this is a regression on 3.4.1, introduced in 3.4.2 - so I will be logging this tomorrow

I’ve solved my issue but in the dumbest way, it’s all to do with the stupid “smart clip” feature.
As long as I leave this on “Ask me each time” it will work. It doesn’t actually ask me each time at all but either of the other options will cause either a crash or for the paste to take an excruciatingly long time.
